They didn't get quite that big this time, but we're threatened with more cold soon, so you never know :-)
I like icicles to look at, but I don't much like the weather that lets them form - it's been fleece trousers weather for the last week or so! But we got off lightly compared to Scotland, which is pretty much at a standstill in places.
It's melting quite enthusiastically today, but of course that means the remaining patches of ice are even slipperier. I think I'm getting old, as I'm focusing on the practicalities rather than the pretty. Bah.
I would think the same way, really. I'm not much of a fan of the cold, I need to move to warmer climate where I can sit out in the sun in a hammock oall day and relax. I'm assuming that you live in a country near Scotland then? Cool.
I've been thinking about moving somewhere warmer for a couple years now, but I feel stuck here in New Jersey. I never graduated from college, so my career choices are limited since my employers require a degree.
Thank you :-) But on the whole, I think I prefer getting old to the alternative :-)

I don't much like the cold, but I don't like it too hot either - anything much over 25 Centigrade (77F) and I start to feel uncomfortable. Just plain awkward, me :-) So I'm grateful to live in a place where there (usually) aren't huge extremes of temperature.

I'm in Derbyshire, which is pretty much in the middle of the UK - we're not far here from the point at which you're the furthest it's possible to be from the sea in these islands, which is only a bit over 70 miles. I have trouble still getting my head round the fact that some of my Transatlantic LJ friends would have to drive for days to reach the sea :-)
I suppose, by US standards of distance we're not far from Scotland at all, as we can drive there inside a day :-) It takes most of the day to get from here to Oban on the west coast where we get the ferry to the lovely Isle of Mull for our holidays though.

I suppose there's no way you could study for one now? I didn't go to university after school, but I have a degree now from the Open University (<"http://www.open.ac.uk/"). I had to pay for it all myself, but it saved me from feeling my brain was dying in a series of supermarket jobs. I don't really use it for anything these days, but I learned a lot and I feel it helped me be a more analytical thinker )not that that's saying much :-)).
Is there anything similar in the US?

In terms of colleges, I could go somewhere, but to be honest I don't want to. I have certain interests and I work at those often. Of course that piece of paper saying I have a degree could come in handy. Oh well.
Hmm, today for example, I drove about 125 miles south for work. I can't say I like to drive far distances, but I've driven a good amount in my life!
